Question:
What is the source of Dua-e-Eftetah?
Answer:
Bismihi Ta'ala
Salaamun alaykum,
The origin of Dua-e Iftitah can be traced through a reliable chain of
transmission by way of which we know that this du'a, which is recited in
the month of Ramadan, was handed down to us from Imam al-Mahdi (may God
expedite his return).
There is also internal evidence within the du'a that gives us a clue the
Imam al-Mahdi (a.s.) is the one who composed it.
Idd mubarak to all of you. It is time to bid farewell to the blessed
month of Ramadan.
wa bi-l-laahi-t-tawfiq,
Hamid Mavani
